COMPulsion

Another golden plugin by Alus Audio. Just a compressor you say? By now you probably read my review of the Clipnosis and SuperGLUE plugins, you will know straight away that the Odd/Even harmonic selector is much appreciated, especially in a compressor plugin (with saturator engaged). 16x oversampling right off the bat. COMPulsion comes with several compression profiles very well known for their place in the audio world (Modern, VCA, Fet, Opto, Vari-MU). Peak or RMS detection types is very interesting. And that LP/HP sidechain filter is unique and very useful.

What stands out to me with this plugin is the ability to nail surgical sidechain with the fastest attack/release times on the market. It's almost worth gatekeeping. Alas, I think the developer deserves some sales for this unit. So the truth is out now.

This feature set in a single plugin makes it a very worthy contender for all the top multi-purpose compressors out there. I think its 100% worth adding to your collection and may potentially replace several plugins in your projects.
